Unlike many intermediary firms and portals, we do not take any percentage from hospitals. Thus, we remain independent in choosing a medical facility and work exclusively for the benefit of the patient. Any type of payment for sending a patient to the hospital is prohibited by law, since it contradicts medical ethics.

Yes, of course, you can also contact the hospital on your own. The whole process will look like this:

• transfer an advance payment to the specified account ,
• write an email to the secretary of the hospital with a request to send an invitation for a visa.
